My newest Harry Potter theory

[eleneariel]

So there are only three ways Harry Potter can end this July. 

1. Harry kills Voldemort and in the process, dies. This is the only real way the story can end satisfactorily, much as I hate the thought. Pure epic tragedy.

2. Harry kills Voldemort and lives. Yeah, and what? Lives happily ever after? Becomes the Dark Arts teacher? Marries Ginny and has 16 kids? Riiiight. The only way this would work is if he selflessly renounced all worldly pleasures and spent the rest of his solitary life fighting evil.

3. Harry kills Voldemort and in the process becomes the new Dark Lord. Dum-dum-de-dum: Meet Harry Pottermort! And thus a new series is born, solving the problem of what the heck J. K. Rowling is going to write next.

I can just see it now. We only thought the Harry Potter mania would be over. Now it can continue another good ten years, with some other hapless young wizard or witch caught up in world-impacting circumstances and fighting a nearly invincible evil.

I really can't wait to find out.

From the personality of JK Rowling, she seems like the type to have Harry realize that only in death is there victory...but then, I think she knows everyone suspects that and she likes to prove people wrong. ;-) Eeek, I can't wait to find out either. Come quickly, July!

That's why I can't decide which scenario is more likely, and therefore my brain is about to explooooode!
